A few months later, by mid-2016, the Obama administration had in place a plan for USAID to partner with Burisma, until Kent intervened to block it.

Kents stoppage of the USAID project adds to a growing body of evidence that Burisma and its corruption issues were causing heartburn inside the State Department during the end of Joe Bidens tenure as Vice President.
Another State official has reportedly testified he tried to warn Bidens office that the Burisma matter posed a conflict of interest but was turned away by the vice presidents aides. *** Kents newly released testimony also confirmed several other elements of my earlier reporting about Ukraine, including that the U.S. embassy exerted pressure on Ukrainian prosecutors not to pursue certain investigations. *** For instance, Kent acknowledged signing an April 2016 letter that asked the Ukrainian prosecutors office to stand down an investigation of several nonprofits that had received U.S. aid, including the AntiCorruption Action Centre of Ukraine, or AnTac.
Kent also confirmed my reporting that AnTac was jointly funded by the State Department and one of liberal megadonor George Soros foundations.
So Obama administration corruption relating to Ukraine may well have extended beyond Burismas $3 million bribe to the Biden family. President Trump was entirely correct in wanting this Obama/Biden administration corruption to be investigated, but the Democratic Party press seems to have succeeded, bizarrely, in painting
Trump as the villain of the story. Who says the mainstream press no longer has any power? The Biden familys self-enrichment is a great example of the swamp against which Donald Trump ran for office, and Americas reporters and editors, with few exceptions, are swamp members in good standing.

The CIA was founded explicitly to make sure there was never again a surprise attack on the US that killed thousands of Americans. The CIA obviously, and in spite of having all the information available to analyze, failed on 9/11.
Do just like JFK said and break it into a thousand pieces. Then carefully build an actual Intelligence capability rather than a covert operations agency that operates as it damn well pleases no matter what We The People want and our elected officials permit.
Don't just scratch the surface of the "Ukraine scandal", dig into it with back hoes and you'll find a whole history of corruption shared with the political Deep State dating back to the Clinton Administration.
The CIA went way out of line in Vietnam but was mostly brought back under control afterwards. The fact that it spun out of control again proves it isn't even an agency of the American government any more but instead nation unto itself with duchies and fiefdoms around the world.
No man can serve two masters, it's time to fire the entire CIA and find personnel that will serve the United States of America first and no other master second.
So, I guess this means Bill Barr has a man on it.
Right?
MOLLIE does Rock! Count on her to lay it out there.
This media intimidation of hiding a seditionist under the false title of “Whistle Blower”, instead of a Leaker at best and a seditious Liar at worst, to impeach a president, is very telling.
Media and social platforms SILENCING America from uttering this guy’s name is an ACT OF WAR on the Constitution.
That it is working, proves that Americans are Russia Ready For Compliance and Stalinist trials.
PATHETIC.

I know! Isn’t Kertz the gayest of FOX? A spine like a silk stocking.
It is amazing how instantly hostile and belligerent news reporters get if Joe or Hunter Bidens name is mentioned in conjunction with the word Ukraine
THIS is what Schiff has been trying to get in front of.
Frau Blucher...
“This has Clinton written all over it.”
I agree with that statement, but probably for an entirely different reason than you might suggest.
I believe that 80% of the people in Washington (of both parties) are in slack-jawed awe of what the Clintons were able to achieve in terms of the magnitude of their lifetime grift receipts. All of them, waiting at the proverbial trough, for their share of whatever giant, bottomless moneypit they could scoop out of. Haiti and Uranium One were perhaps the Clintons ultimate achievements; Ukraine was an irresistable target in terms of the levels of sheer corruption from which they could siphon US aid dollars. What Biden did in the Ukr with Hunter was a tad on the clumsy side; he had no “charitable” foundation, but he *could* seemingly insulate himself in a similar “one step removed” fashion by directing the grift to Hunter. It’s the same modus as was used in the production of the Steele dossier, except the Clintons were again one or two levels above the obvious by utilizing Fusion GPS and the Perkins Coey as a clever cutout mechanism.
A mistypo!
“80% of people in DC” were prolly taking payoffs from the Arkansas Dynamite Duo to look the other way!!
This whole article revolves around one man, George Kent, at one point the Charge/ daffaires in Kiev. But your excerpt and Powerlines only mention his last name, Kent. Hard to follow the story when its that sloppy.
However, that is not what I did. I realized after I posted that I had mistyped Kertz, as it is correctly spelled Kurtz. 8>)
The Clintons grifted in excess of $260 billion. I’d like to know who’s got the money, and what have they done with it.
Do just like JFK said and break it into a thousand pieces
JFK. Nixon. Trump.
Im beginning to see a pattern here.
That seems awfully high. But I have no doubt it is a giant number nonetheless.
Wish we could automatically flood their autobots with our autobots.
Flood with flood...
Bog them down, like they do with anyone they hate.
Then when the corporations get angry over it, we show proof they were the genesis of the whole end thing.
Each of our Auto responses were just that!
We can dream...
Yup!
And there isore where that came from.
